Fatty oil or pull up oil

Fatty oil or pull-up oil for leather industry use

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 3809 93 10 (fatty oil or pull-up oil used in the leather or like industries) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other finishing agents and preparations within Chapter 38 — particularly those used in textile processing — may fall under sibling tariff lines that carry compliance obligations, making precise classification essential.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

The principal importer risk at this tariff line is misclassification: finishing agents, dressings, and mordants are a broad family, and customs re-examination of the product's actual end-use or formulation can shift the classification to a line that does carry compliance. Retrospective compliance following re-classification may include detention pending the relevant licence and recovery of differential duty. Verify the product's formulation, intended use, and industry application against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this line.

Frequently asked
Does HSN 3809 93 10 require any pre-import registration?
A valid Importer-Exporter Code is required for any commercial import; no product-specific registration applies to this tariff line.
What changes if the finishing agent is used in the textile or paper industry rather than leather?
Finishing agents classified under sibling tariff lines for textile or paper industry use within Chapter 38 may attract distinct compliance obligations, and customs re-classification based on actual end-use triggers retrospective compliance.
